Answer 1

"a. Captain John Smith became the leader of Jamestown and set up guidelines and rules for the settlers to follow" and "b. William Bradford and William Brewster saw North America as a land where they could practice their religion freely" would both be correct statements, since religious toleration in Massachusetts was not wide-spread.
